Is there something about Usain Bolt's run that is different from a lot of other elite sprinters? Can we learn something about athleticism from this lightning bolt of a runner?
Typical answers like "well, he is a foot taller than the rest" or "he utilizes the latest pharmaceutical secret", do not explain the obvious natural athleticism of his movement.
What is athleticism "defined" and "taught" by Usain Bolt?
1. An "effortless" completion of a given task
2. An ability to adapt to different situations and challenges (slippery track etc)
3. A fluid team-work within the orchestra of body parts
4. Fun and focus combined
